PACKAGE FO R SOAP.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 246,220, dated August 23, 1881.

Application filed July 27, 1881.

To all lwhom it may concern Be it knownthat we, ROBERT D. SGHULTZ and JOHN T. HOGE, of Zanesville,in the county of Muskingum and State otl Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages for Soap; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part ot' this specification.

Our invention relates to an improvement in Wrappers for soap, the object being to supply bar or cake soap to the trade done up in clothadapted to be put to some household use after having inished its mission as a wrapper.

With this object in view our invention cousists in putting up bar or cake soap in cloth Wrappers. Y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view, in perspective, of a bar of soap put up for market in accordance with our invent-ion; and Fig. 2 is a view thereof in longitudinal cross-section.

A represents a bar of soap inclosed in a wrapper,B, composed of a piece of cloth folded at both ends ofthe bar, on which it is retained by a paper band, C, encircling the bar longitudinally. lt is, however, apparent that the cloth may be retained on the soap in many different ways, as by sewing it at each end or by passing a cord around it. It is designed to stamp the soap itself or to print upon the cloth or upon the band, if such fastening device be employed, or upon any two or all of these ele- A ments, some name suggestive of the use to (No model.)

which the cloth in which the soap is incased is adapted. In the present instance the band C is printed with the words Dish-Rag Soap, said Words being intended to convey the idea that the wrapper is composed of dish-rag cloth, or is particularly adapted to be used as such.

Among the different fabrics we intend to use may be mentioned napkin-cloth, house-cloth, handtoweling, glass-toweling, and tea-toweling, the soap wrapped in them heilig called, respectively, napkin-soap, house-cloth soap, hand-towel soap,7 glass-towel soap,7 and tea-towel soap. IVe do not Wish, however, to limit ourselves to the above-mentioned fabrics, as it is apparent that our invention comprehends the use of all cloth fabrics as Wrappers for soap.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent', is-

1. A bar or cake of soap wrapped in cloth.

2. A bar or cake of soap wrapped in a piece of cloth adapted to be put to some household use after having finished its mission as a wrap per.

3. A bar or cake of soap wrapped in dishrag cloth or equivalent fabric.

4. A bar or cake of soap wrapped in a cloth retained on it by a paper band.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands this 21st day of July, 1881.
